Big Snow in Shanghai



I say “big snow” because that’s the literally translation of the Chinese word for “heavy snow”: 大雪(da xue). And what I woke up to that morning in Shanghai was definitely a heavy snow for that part of China!

The Shanghainese aren’t used to the snow. This car, for example, drove out into traffic without even clearing its rear window,lol
Probably the weirdest thing to see, though, is the “snow sweeping”; the use of Chinese straw brooms to clear the snow. No, it’s not very effective, but no one has snow shovels,at least they are trying:D
